Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Definitely Kevin. She also had him listed as "Only invite if he brings Tacos"
 
Okay guys and gals.
I'm serious about this.
I've got a set of 2 brs reactors complete minus pump with lots of extra adapters in a box in the garage.
I've had them for a couple of years.
They're clean and work well.
I'm never going to use them and I want someone on the Smorgasbord to have them ,or a reefer you know or whatever.
I don't want anything for them so if anyone is interested pm me please and I'll mail them off.
I'm serious guys.
I'd rather someone use them because the garage is not using them.
I'm not a big "I want something for my stuff guy " just want them to go to a good home. :smiling-face:

is that like what you would use for the GFO?
 
hmmm. i might be interested if no one else is. that is if i can figure out how to use them!
Joel is an expert, he can help you, he's going to have to help us both lol, I think the tank came with one that need a return pump I think but I don't know lol

Yep.
Needs a pump.
That's a hob or hang on sump.
Any name on it Luis?
 
Aquatop MR-20
Was just curious only.
Looks like there's a valve on it to regulate flow.
You can use any pump for it as long as it is strong enough.
Looking at it closely it looks like a biopellet reactor.
I'm not familiar with any aquatop products.
 
Found this guy standing tall on my rock this morning. Unless I'm way wrong....aiptasia? Does anyone that has dealt with it have plan of attack? I'm sure I have a ton but this is the only one I've seen so far.

If the rock was accessible, no coral near the aiptasia, (esp zoas or palys) used to pull the rock out and hit the aiptasa with my mapp or lp torch, rinse rock in a bucket of tank water and put it back in the tank. Had a pretty hateful relationship with aiptasia at the time.
 
Aquatop MR-20
Okay looked it up it's a multi media reactor.
Cool.
Put a good dc pump on it and it'll be good.
They really are great for carbon.
Full contact.
Good for gfo too I've just decided gfo is not for me.
But.....
It works.
I do know that.

Very cool idea.
I'm liking this a lot.
